Pet Partner of the Month: Ferret Dreams

Ferret Dreams Rescue & Adoption is this month’s KIDS ‘N’ PETS featured Pet Partner of the Month.  Thanks go out to Director, Matthew Jaramillo for sharing his insight on owning ferrets. 

KIDS ‘N’ PETS:  Before adopting a ferret, what is the most important thing to consider?
MATTHEW:  Before adopting a ferret, a lot of research needs to be done.  Ferrets are very high maintenance and curious animals.  They demand a lot of attention and supervision.  They aren't recommended for young children.  Ferrets need to be fed a special high protein and fat diet.  Their medical needs can vary but since they are considered exotics, they will require a veterinarian who has experience with ferrets.

KIDS ‘N’ PETS:  What fun facts can you offer to people who are unfamiliar with ferrets?
MATTHEW:  Ferrets are fun, curious and very social animals.  They love to play with both humans and other ferrets.  It is always best to have at least 2 ferrets so they have another ferret to play and sleep with.  Ferrets love to dance and play, run through tubes and dig in rice boxes.  They will keep you smiling with their antics.

KIDS ‘N’ PETS:  What have you used KIDS ‘N’ PETS for?
MATTHEW:  We use KIDS ‘N’ PETS every day at our rescue.  We use it to clean cages, tile floors and carpet.  It cleans up all accidents and even blood.  All the stains come out easily and it leaves a fresh smell behind.


Ferret Dreams Rescue & Adoption is a 501©(3) non-profit organization. They are the only no-kill ferret rescue in the state of Colorado. Ferret Dreams started in 2005 and has rescued close to 500 ferrets. (Read more at www.kidsnpetsbrand.com/partnership.htm or visit www.ferretdreams.org.)

How to remove skunk odor, clean stinky dog fur, and eliminate pet odors

From carpets to clothing to car seats and beyond, KIDS ‘N’ PETS tackles an enormous amount of household stains and odors. Yet, what many customers don’t realize is that KIDS ‘N’ PETS can be used directly on stinky pet fur to clean them up after a particularly nasty romp.

Recently, a customer, Dana, came to us with this question:

“I LOVE KnP for cleaning carpets, couches, bathrooms.... I am hoping someone can tell me if I can use it on our dog.... he decided to "make himself smell pretty" by rolling in something awful. We bathed him with dog shampoo and baking soda last night and he still stinks... not as bad... but ugh.... so can we use KnP on his body??”

The answer: Absolutely! Whether your pet is sprayed by a skunk, rolls in manure, swims in a particularly dirty pond, or is indescribably just plain smelly, KIDS ‘N’ PETS can help eliminate the odor.







Here are 5 quick steps to clean up stinky pet fur and help your furry family members smell their best!
  1. Place your dog (or cat, if they’ll stand for it) in the bathtub 
  2. Pour KIDS ‘N’ PETS All Purpose Stain and Odor Remover directly onto his/her coat. Wet thoroughly and massage into dog’s coat. **Watch out for sensitive areas, KIDS ‘N’ PETS has a small percentage of alcohol in it 
  3. Let the KIDS ‘N’ PETS enzymes work their magic until coat is completely dry 
  4. Rinse thoroughly
  5. Enjoy Sparky (or Fluffy’s) sparkling fresh and odor-free coat!
